The facility will include parking lots on the first and second basement levels; on the first floor, there will be an Integrated Childcare Support Center, a daycare center, a group childcare center, and a cafeteria; on the second floor, a senior welfare center and a children's learning and experience center; on the third floor, a social welfare center and a job center; on the fourth floor, a large auditorium and classrooms for the Guri Cultural Center; and on the fifth floor, a multipurpose gymnasium with six badminton courts and one basketball court. Through this, the city plans to greatly enhance convenience and accessibility for residents by integrating welfare, education, culture, and sports functions into a single space.
Mayor Baek Kyunghyun of Guri City stated, "The Galmae-dong Complex Community Center is a core public facility that residents have long called for, and we have carefully reflected residents' opinions from the design stage. We expect this place not only to improve the quality of life for Galmae-dong residents, but also to become a central space for communication and harmony through various activities."
